Here are some definitions of the word synapse:

1. The association of homologous chromosomes with chiasma formation that is characteristic of the first meiotic prophase and is held to be the mechanism for genetic crossing-over.

2. The definition of a synapse is the junction between two neurons or nerve cells where there is a small gap that neurotransmitters help nerve impulses to cross.

3. In popular culture, "synapse" is often used to describe a thought in a most artistic form, or even a "jerk reaction" to a certain stimuli.

It would seem that the term means a place where two things (or ideas) come together or a union is formed. The synapse in the nervous system is a very tiny space when information is carried by neurotransmitters to allow the information to continue on.
